waterfront weddings on the Chesapeake bay

Kent Island, Maryland

About our venue

Matapeake Beach & Clubhouse is located on The Chesapeake Bay side of Kent Island Maryland. This waterfront venue was the ferry terminal house between Sandy Point and Kent Island from 1936 to 1956 before the Chesapeake Bay bridge was built.

In 2009, the terminal ferry house was restored to its original 1930’s rustic appearance and soon thereafter the site became a popular location to hold weddings. Matapeake is a unique venue as it can accommodate up to 250 guests either on the beach or on the grass next to the ferry house, for your tented waterfront ceremony and reception.The venue becomes your own private mansion with your very own beach.

Breathtaking views of the Chesapeake bay and romantic sunsets, Matapeake provides the beautiful and elegant backdrop that you are looking for on your special day.
